So i was taking a walk through the ghetto low and behold behind a utility company there is the perfect box right by the dumpster (well kind of). Maybe a sign and a blessing from the cannabis gods. it even had holes that matched the ballast brackets. now the ghetto is .0005% safer
i wasnt trying to promote unsafe growing before. but thats all i had and all i could get. sometimes all you can do is make a bad situation out of a really bad situation. either way it had to get done. growins all i got
quick and easy,take a plastic handled screwdriver and touch its steel shaft from the center post of the mogul to the steel inner threaded part of the mogul and that's it (unplug fixture first of course)
FWIW most caps have a bleed down resistor that discharges them if the ballast hasn't been plugged in recently but it never hurts to be safe
